Motley Indentification

[Susan]

I am kinda new, and am still learning all the morphs, but with the "thicker" black surrounding the coloration, could it be some type of an okeetee/motley morph? Sure is pretty though, congrats on your new snake.

In normally patterned corns, the wide border is a characteristic of the Okeetee phase. However, the motley pattern has a tendency to reduce the black borders as well as make the snake's color appear lighter and brighter, sort of like a hypo-ish effect. Some breeders have been working on increasing the border size in motleys, to try to create a motley Okeetee, and there has been some success, but not to the extent seen in this particular snake...at least not that has been shown to the general corn snake community. Here is a photo of one of Carol's (Low Belly Reptiles) Okeetee motley project females and as you can see, there is a big difference in the size of the borders between her and the OP's snake.

Thanks for all your kind comments Guys, we're still none the wiser. Will be interesting when he's big enough to breed.
